Join us for dancing, dining, and dialogue!

It is time to celebrate the accomplishments of the Gender and Women’s Studies Department at UW-Madison throughout its 50 years of rich and powerful history! The 2025 golden anniversary celebration, “Forward Together!” is an important event that brings people together from within and beyond UW-Madison to a setting for celebration of the department’s history and the field’s future. This event will highlight the contributions of speakers, scholars, faculty, and students who will share their experiences surrounding the department. At a time when GWS departments across the nation are under threat of defunding and disbanding, uplifting voices within GWS calls attention to the need for these difficult dialogues and hard-won celebrations.
